rrE STATES PATENT \VESLEY CASE, OF TOPEKA, KANSAS, ASSIGNOR TO THE COAL ECONOMIZIN G COMPANY, OF SAME PLACE.

COMPOUND TO PREVENT THE FUSION OF CINDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 298,727, dated May 20, 1884..

Application filed September 27, 1883. (No specimens.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WEsLEY OiisE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Topeka, in the county of Shawnee and State of Kansas, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Compounds for Preventing the Formation of Clinkers in Coal; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same.

The object of my invention is to provide a compound for preventing the formation of clinkers in the combustion of coal, and more particularly for preventing the formation of clinkers in bituminous coals used in the furnaces of locomotives.

For every hundred parts of my compound I take eight pounds of bicarbonate of ammonia fifteen pounds of saltpeter, fifteen pounds of bicarbonate of soda, fifteen pounds of rosin, five pounds of Epsom salts, thirty pounds of common salt, twelve pounds of coal dust. These ingredients are thoroughly ground and then mixed together, the coal-dust being used merely as a base to prevent the cementing of the other ingredients into a hard mass.

The compound as thus prepared is put up in barrels or packages, and in using the same venting the mass from cementing together, all

in or about the proportions described.

WESLEY CASE.
